I was the underbidder tonight for this interesting Peace Dollar. What caught my eye at first was the toning pattern. Then I took a closer look at the slab and found it entertaining. It is the original bag series with a coin that looks like tab toning (or possibly end roll toning where a roll was folded in such a way as to cause this pattern). Either way, I would doubt that the toning was caused by being stored in a bag. Now I'm pretty sure that the bag fragments have no relation to the coin (I can't confirm for certain but some posts suggest that the bags were sent in separately from the coins in order to put this "series" together) but it would seem like whoever was putting this package together would better match the coin. In the end, this interesting scenario along with the cool pattern had me bidding but it was not enough (I was the direct underbidder and it closed at 471.24 with the fee).

It looks like it had tape on it.

That is possible too

or tape residue acetoned away
Add another vote for it looking taped
I dunno… very strange.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Appears NGC created a marketing label that appears distinct from the holdered coin itself. Not sure many collectors would feel that Peace $ got that toning from being in the original mint bag.
The Swiss Army Peace Dollar. I like it.
I would guess taped to a piece of paper/cardboard, or taped in an album so it wouldn't fall out.

Tape Toner.
To each their own I guess. If you like it that's all that matters.
